Information for this report was obtained from NFL scouts.

They say Matt Hasselbeck finally figured it out in Seattle. Late last season, when it was really too late and nobody was paying close attention, Hasselbeck quietly guided coach Mike Holmgren's team to three straight wins and chased Tampa Bay's Brad Johnson for the NFC passing lead.

In his third season since Holmgren pried him from Green Bay in a trade, Hasselbeck must accomplish no less than save Holmgren's job. Like...

Brad Biggs: Bears 27, Seahawks 10: You have to like the loose atmosphere Pete Carroll has created in Seattle, where they have nothing to lose. There's no pressure on the Seahawks and the Bears are inexperienced on the offensive side of the ball in the playoffs. Their defense is seasoned, though, and it will be far too much for Matt Hasselbeck.

The good thing is the Bears won the division and earned the bye. The bad thing is the void of fresh, local football analysis. I'm pointing the thumb as much as the finger because I have participated in the blather. "The quarterback doesn't smile. " … "A contract extension is due Lovie Smith. " … " 'Enlightened' Greg Olsen finally realizes he should contribute more. " I feel shame. So on to kickoff, mercifully just two days away, and the "what if?" game for the Bears and...
